Little Psy sets his sights high
- 12 years ago
He might be small, but his cameo in Psy's "Gangnam Style" music video was big enough to make him a star.
Seven-year-old dance prodigy Hwang Min-woo is now known as "Little Psy" and has been tapped by South Korea's second biggest electronics company LG to be a brand ambassador.
Despite all the attention, the pint-sized star says he is enjoying the limelight.

"People ask me if I'm tired of being on television too frequently, but I never get tired. I will just dance with joy and just go crazy with it."
Recently, Hwang started taking professional lessons at a vocal and dance academy south of Seoul.
"Little Psy" says he thinks he will become a bigger star than his namesake -- who just won Best Video at the recent MTV Europe awards.
